Nelson, N.D. states "Max Barlow’s skill as a botanist combined with his talent as a writer, makes this book a unique contribution to the field of herbology. He has done extensive research into the medicinal uses of botanicals, and has a rich background in the medicinal-nutritional field. He is presently working with Dr. E.T. Krebs, Jr. on several important projects, one being a very effective natural plant respiratory antibiotic."

Since the publication of this book in 1979 until his death in 1998 Max dedicated his life’s work to the development of a very special extraction technique for several herbs and herbal combinations. His work with Dr. Krebs on "a very effective natural plant respiratory antibiotic" was Lomatium Dissectum.

For the 25 years that Max ran the company, the herbal extracts were only available to a very elite group. No advertising was done and only word of mouth referral put you on the company mailing list.
